I'm having some troubles importing an exodus field sizing function into Trelis.

I am currently exporting a sample volume tetmesh to an exodus file, writing a variable to that exodus file, and reading the mesh back into Trelis. Trelis recognizes that a sizing variable with the correct name has been set (in the GUI import exodus sizing function window), but when I try to apply the sizing function to the volume where the mesh was originally generated I get the error:

Import mesh use nodeset associativity is FALSE: associativity data between nodesand geometry in imported mesh files will be ignored.Imported meshes will be associated to geometry by proximity only.

Mesh was assigned to the following entities and their sub-entities: The 6 surface ids are: 1 to 6.

WARNING: 100115 imported nodes could not be associated with geometry.Hint: "set debug 120 on" then re-import the mesh to printthe locations of these non-associated nodes.WARNING: 566976 imported tets could not be associated with geometry.These mesh entities may be unassociated for the following reasons: - Some nodes may not have been in an element of the current element block. - Some volumes may have been already meshed. - The model may be only partially merged now, or the model may have been only partially merged when the mesh was first created. - The import mesh tolerance may be too small or big.
